Don your stripes and thick black glasses y’all, Waldo season is upon us. Last year, Waldo hid stealthily in twenty local businesses all throughout the month of July and (hold on to your red hats people) we’ll be doing it again this July!
Here’s how it works: You and your family begin by picking up a passport.
A passport has the names and addresses of all twenty participating businesses on it, and each time you find Waldo (you’ll have to be willing to look hard though!) an employee from the business where you found him will sign off on your sheet.
Then you move on to the next spot where Waldo is hiding!
You guys will have a whole month, so take your time and get to know all of the cool people who live and work around you. Want to get to know Fondren better? Stop by Brent’s Drugs and get a milkshake and sip while you search. Or pop over to Belhaven and explore the Eudora Welty house with your kids and chances are you’ll find Waldo sneaking around!
If you and yours find the ever-elusive Waldo in at least ten locations, come by the store and get a prize! Here’s a little incentive to not give up on the search though- if you find Waldo in all twenty businesses you will get a bigger prize and also have your name entered for the grand prize drawing at the end of the month. The grand prize is awesome y’all- an amazing collector’s set of Waldo books that I would give anything to have in my own library. The grand prize drawing will be at a giant Waldo hooplah that we’ll be hosting at our store on Saturday, July 27 at 11:00, so make sure you don’t miss it! You have to be present to collect the prize if your name is drawn.
We’ll be kicking off on Monday, July 1st first thing in the morning and you can come by the store to pick up a passport (don’t forget to look for Waldo here in Lemuria) or you can start your hunt at any of the twenty businesses! We are so excited to be hosting such a cool event that encourages us to really get to know the city that we live in. So get ready to get hunting, make amazing memories, and get to know the amazing Jackson, Mississippi.
